Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!
This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".
According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.
People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.
AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.
Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza
Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support
With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza
China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty
A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed. The Saker >>

press release
 Saturday July 15, 2006 12:26 by Siobhan Rice - Political Affairs Officer - TaraWatch info at tarawatch dot org 086-319-9833
TaraWatch is sending out a call for support for the Solidarity Camp,
The Solidarity camp is an independent, democratic, non-hierarchical group. TaraWatch met with members on the Hill of Tara yesterday. We were asked to send out a universal call for support and issue a statement, on their behalf.
 PRESS RELEASE
Sat, 15 July 2006
'Gardai Seek to Remove Campers on the Hill of Tara Under The Housing Act, 2002
Acting at the behest of the Office of Public Works, on Friday 14th July, the Gardai Siochana payed a visit to the Solidarity Camp set up on the Hill of Tara, and threatened to prosecute members under the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2002.
This Act criminalizes trespass on public and private land. It provides that:
“a person without the consent of the owner, shall not enter or occupy any land or bring on to that land any object which might either damage the land or effect any amenity attaching to the land or prevent other people using the land”.
Having taken legal advice on the matter, TaraWatch is of the opinion that the campers are not in breach of any of the provisions of the Act. In fact, the Act is being used as a subterfuge to suppress speech.
The Gardai said they will return today, Saturday, 15th July, after investigating whether or not the inhabitants had in fact erected a 'structure' by tying a tarpolin to a tree.
Since the Hill of Tara became public land, and indeed for many millenia before that, people have camped there in order to enjoy the amenity, and none have ever been prosecuted.
In this case, the campers have been threatened with prosecution, not because of their presence on the site, but because of what they stand for, and what they are saying, i.e. "Save Tara".
TaraWatch believes that is an act of selective prosecution, which entails using the Housing Act in order to quell constitutionally protected free speech, which is gauranteed in Article 40 of the Constitution of Ireland.
In addition, the campers have stated their clear intent to perform and complete their religious ceremony, which will conclude on August 2. This right to exercise their relgious beliefs is protected in Irish law and under the European Convention of Human Rights.
Siobhan Rice, Political Affairs Officer, said:
"TaraWatch welcomes the action taken by these campers, and thanks them for their brave expression of support for the campaign to reroute the M3 away from the Tara complex,.
"We are grateful this independently organised group has offered such a clear expression of solidarity, on behalf of the Irish public, and all who hold Irish heritage dear to their hearts.
"The members of the camp issued the following statement yesterday evening:
WE ARE A PEOPLE'S SOLIDARITY CAMP, HERE TO SUPPORT THE LOCAL PEOPLE AND ALL THE CAMPAIGNS. WE ARE ADAMANT IN OUR NONAFFILIATION WITH ANY PATICULAR CAMPAIGN OR POLITICAL PARTY, BUT WELCOME ANY FRIENDS OF TARA TO OUR SOLSTICE VIGIL FIRE WHICH HAS BEEN BURNING SINCE THE SUMMER SOLSTICE.
"We encourage the public to visit the Hill of Tara, and show their support."

Why they want these people removed.
Well said S "In this case, the campers have been threatened with prosecution, not because of their presence on the site, but because of what they stand for, and what they are saying, i.e. "Save Tara".
